Manage lead times easily
Are your lead times based on reality or a number someone entered five years ago? Inaccurate lead times are a primary driver of stockouts and excess inventory. MiLi’s Lead Time Calculator solves this problem by analyzing your actual purchase order history to calculate a demonstrated, statistically accurate lead time for every material. Our system automatically flags significant deviations between the demonstrated and planned lead times, allowing you to update your master data with a single click. This ensures your planning and MRP systems are working with reality, not fiction, leading to more reliable plans and a more resilient supply chain.
